My 42 has two manual Whale pumps for the bilge, one down below (bottom of the
stairs) and one one on deck near the wheel. Pretty standard stuff, although
the second pump down below was surprising. In addition, the PO installed a
diaphragm pump, to which I added a screen filter (which picks up
My 25 mk1 came with a manual Whale pump mounted in the center of the cockpit
sole. I have always presumed it was an OEM installation.
That’s the only bilge pump I have on the 25. She is a very dry boat. In a 6
month period she does not get enough water in the bilge to prime the manual
pump.
What do you mean by "bump the starter"? If the dipstick is reading dry when
you know you have the proper amount of oil, it sounds like you may have the
wrong dipstick.

Listen to James. His advice is sound. Don't let the insurance company
push you around. You want the boat back to where it was before the
grounding, and heating and straightening won't bring it back to the way it
was.

I have a C&C 29 Mk2 where the previous owner had hit rocks hard and tore the
bottom 10 inches off the rudder and bent the rudder post backward and to port.
There was also some damage to the bottom of the keel. I replaced the bent
rudder shaft with a new one made from 316 stainless as par

If your insurance company is pushing for the repair vs replacement, ask
them if they will guarantee the repair and any subsequent damages.

Hi Sean. I had the same "chirping" problem with my 2GM20F. My oil level
was fine. The ground on the sensor was good. So I replaced the sensor,
but still had the chirping. My mechanic came by and we put on a pressure
gauge...pressure was good!
So, for now I'm just living with the chirping whic

Ps – I know someone who “fixed” a bent rudder by backing into a sandbar in
reverse to bend it back. Yikes!

Insurance is paying right? Let them figure it out. I would not have
considered the solution they suggest but if they have confidence then they
probably also have the experience to back it up.
If the company can't straighten it then you'll get a new rudder any way.

I replaced my rudder (including the shaft) about 15 years ago and, later, found
out that the shaft wasn’t bent as I had though—the upper bearing had just
shifted. Make sure your shaft is really bent before proceeding. To do this, I
would try to realign the bearing just below the deck first.

I have a decision to make on repairing the rudder on my boat after it was
damaged in a grounding on a reef. The shaft is bent and they are proposing to
straighten the shaft and then repair the fiberglass. It was described to me by
the surveyor as a common process and no big deal. He said they
